LOL! I've just looked up the result I got when I did that I got 27 too! (in section I if thats the one you mean)
Yey to us! I know there isnt direct correlation between % and GAMSAT score but I assume 77% cant be below the 63/62 cut off score can it??
I got 35/50 in section III, a bit lower but I was still quite pleased. You?

hmmm. I found time difficult too- to be honest I didnt put myself under the strictest time limit because my boyfirend kept coming in and talking to me- grrr (the withering looks prompted an apology and then he'd be back again 10 mins later!!). I think it took me a few mins longer than I allowed.

I decided to pick my questions, biology first as I find them easier and then scan the rest and pick the next ones - and then pick C for the others!
the advice I have seen so far is between scanning the easy ones during the reading time or reading the longest ones first during that time...

oh, and I never see others as a threat... we are all different, so just because I don't get in - I don't blame others

In the practices I've done so far I've just worked through, but think I might have a go at working through bio-chem-phys order for my full practice like Griffiths' suggests and see how I get on.
